Mono Stylii

I do find it funny that George Harrison's house is now a Hindu temple given what used to go on there...

And George Harrison's introduction to Pattie Boyd.

Without whom many great songs would never have been...………

MC true mono cartridge

I didn't realise they did an affordable mono*...as well as some unaffordable ones. But they are true monos which I didn't know anyone other than ortofon made these days. However they have changed to elliptical for the Kotetu.

That is why I've made a mono cartridge myself. It is heavily influenced by the legendary Fairchild mono cartridges from y196-something, and at the same time it is different.
200 wounds of coil put directly on the aluminium cantilever, closer to stylus, there the amplitude is wider, so it can be considered an air coil. Several listening sessions with different audiophile systems were very encouraging. Actually all of us were surprised, how good mono can sound...

Very nice. My ebay junk linn Asak has now arrived in Russia to be converted. After some prevaricating decided to rotate the coils 45 degrees so it measures M-S rather than L-R. I know it shouldn't make any difference, but I'm stubborn .



No one on here has admitted to trying a mono Decca. Any takers?
